Tobyhanna was a repair depot. When receivers and or the modules could not be repaired at the field level they were shipped to Tobyhanna and other depots for repair. The R-390's would be disassembled down to modules, cleaned tested and repaired, re-assembled (not always with the same modules in the same receivers) and thus were nicknamed "Depot Dawgs." Collins had nothing to do with it.

Well, I do not know much about this place. Someone tried to tell me that Collins set up shop there and built R-390s and R-390As there. I told my friend that was not true. To my understanding, Tobyhanna is/was a salvage disposal facility for obsolete military gear. Some comments here please, as I straighten out my friends thinking. 73s Russ.
